Advice on property managers/ companies in Vancouver

[Joshua Ng]

Hi there, Am a relatively new forumer on BP. Was wondering, for those who own property in BC/Vancouver area, do you use a property manager/management company as advised by the numerous podcasts? And if so, which management company/person do you recommend? I currently have an older property in the lougheed area, but within walking distance from Lougheed Skytrain Station. Thank you!! Josh

I use property management but my properties are not in GVRD so I don't have a recommendation for you. I Google'd up a list of about 10 and called each one for a quick chat about rates, their company, and whether they might specialize in particular types of investments (single/multi family, vacation, AirBnB, etc). You may find many property management companies are found as arms of real estate brokerages.

I did my own management for a while early on when I had only a couple of places and it was nice to learn what the day to day challenges were.
